Sheep hayring and miniature shetlands

[Box_Of_Frogs]

As title, does anyone know if a 6-slot sheep feeder would work for 5 miniature shetlands? Not sure if the slots would be big enough. Anyone know how how the dimensions of a sheep's head compare with a miniature shetlands? Shetlands are 31". (Copied in Tack Room as well).

Hi,

I don't have sheep, but I do have a very large goat (33" when last measured), his head is probably sheep sized

Goat wears a mini foal halter.

My mini is 32" and he wears a foal halter, his head is longer and wider than the Goat and presumably, therefore, a sheep.

Get one designed for horned sheep. The bars are horizontal and enough room for a shetland head. I would be worried they got stuck in a conventional one.

Or a yearling cattle one could be better, heavier tho:
